great dragon! But what do you mean by: sc2, 2sc, ch2 turn. Is that sc in next 2, 2 sc in next st, ch 2 and turn?
Hello Heidi.
Oh I'm sorry I missed your comment. I do appreciate you trying my little pattern and asking about it.
You are exactly right about the "translation" of that direction. I hope it worked out for you.
That's one of my shorthand phrases. It makes it easier for me to write down what I'm doing as I play with a new pattern.
I sometimes forget to fill in the long (understandable?) version of these statements when I transcribe my notes.
My apology. Please let me know about any other questions. I will keep a closer eye on the comment section.
Thank you.
This is a really cute dragon and I can't wait to try it. Thanks so much!
Thank you for stopping by, Ellen. Let me know if you have any trouble with it.
I'm confused at step 9. If I continue working along the wing, I run out of stitches. Can anyone help me?
Don't go back along the wing. Step 9 makes one of the large sections/points that comes off the wing base.
skip 1st ch(the closest to the hook)of the ch7 made in step8, sc in next chain of that ch7, hdc in next ch, dc in each of next 3 chs, skip the next ch, slst to last dc made in step8, ch5, skip 1st ch(the closest to the hook)of this ch5 just made, slst into next ch of ch5....
